China March dysprosium oxide output and April forecast

China’s dysprosium oxide production in March was 219 mt, up 0.8% MoM. The increase was mainly reflected in Guangxi where separation plants resumed production in March.

However, some companies in Jiangxi reported that due to the losses, ion-absorption ore holders were reluctant to sell since March, low-priced supplies rapidly tightened, and some separation plants slightly cut output due to shortages of raw materials.
